Pawing the ground with one front hoof is a clear sign of impatience and frustration on the horse’s part. You’ve probably seen the horse that digs himself into a hole when left tied up or bangs a front hoof against the stall impatiently until he’s fed. It’s kind of like a little kid rolling around on the ground at the shopping center because his mother won’t buy him candy. He’s spoiled and having a bit of a tantrum.
If your horse constantly paws when you tie him up or at feeding time, you’ll want to check out Clinton’s fix. He addresses the issue and shares a personal story of how he corrected his mare Mindy from doing the bad habit in the winter 2012 issue of the No Worries Journal.
